Two Ways to Get a Birth Certificate in Alabama

The Old-Fashioned Way:

Getting an Alabama birth certificate the traditional way requires you to fill out the state’s official form.

Not everyone can obtain a birth certificate in Alabama for a particular person. To qualify to receive a certificate, you must be one of the following:• The person named on the document • The husband or wife of the person named on the document • A parent or legal guardian • A son or daughter of the person named on the document • A sister or brother of the person named on the document • An authorized legal representative of the person named on the document

A birth certificate costs $15, while additional copies of the same document are $6 each provided that they are ordered at the same time. A check or money order should be made out to State Board of Health.
